I think you overestimate the power of Frodo. Or perhaps underestimate the power of Aragorn. Aragorn was, after all, able to fend of the Ringwraiths at several occasions, and Frodo would certainly have been weaker than the Nine, a slave to their will. Aragorn would have taken the necessary measure to ensure that Frodo did not simply hand over the Ring to the enemies, if he felt it truly necessary.
Remember, Frodo never fully lost his grip on reality in the books until the Fords. Before that he was just dizzy and in pain, but not so rapidly rushing into the wraith world as he was in the movis.
